    The pilots and crew do an amazing job getting you to these places.The way you maintain people's privacy so that people can chose to be on the Vlog ,or not, is really noticeable. The amount of thought, work and effort that Jessica and you out in to these acts of kindness is phenomenal

    Bert... I love that you're always showing us the different native cultures! Thank you for that! Do you think it would be useful- informative, etc for you to volunteer for that event and maybe introduce the kids to the different electrical fields and such thru could go into? I SURE do!! And if that's both something they'd like. And you'd also like to participate in... HOW FUN would it be to include the whole family and fly them out to participate in the event and maybe spend the night and learn SO MUCH about the native culture.
    ALSO.... I couldn't love anymore, the fact that the entire town gets together Christmas eve?? That's so so amazing!!! It's a bit like our midnight mass. But the ENTIRE town doesn't come! LOL!!
    Thanks again you guys!!
    Big hugs!!!

    It's always amazing to see how many people in Alaska use snowmobiles instead of cars. But, it would make sense that a snowmobile would get around a lot easier than an 🚘 automobile. I've never been on a snowmobile or a 4 wheeler. Merry Christmas to everyone ❤️ near & far. Too often we forget the simplest 🙏 pleasures.

    Bert , this brings back so many great memories of my mom wanting to give to everyone. She was the one person in my life that would give her last penny and the shirt off her back to make others happy. She always taught me , it’s better to give than too receive She made hand made Christmas ornaments and would give everyone she came across one when she would travel from Tx to Washington state our original home. I’m sure there are a few of them in Ak when she flew up to visit us when hubby was stationed at Ft Richardson 77-80. MERRY CHRISTMAS from Cancun Mx

    Our church, every year get a list of the names of kids, who live in a Christian orphanage on the reservation.They write what they want for Christmas as well as their ages, sizes etc! This is my first year of doing it, and I had so much fun along with my daughter , picking out basketball shoes for a 16 year old young man, who wanted everything Nike. I asked the Lord to help as He knows what Bladen likes!
